Famous quotes containing the word music:

    Now the rich stream of Music winds along
    Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    The dignity of art probably appears most eminently with music since it does not have any material that needs to be discounted. Music is all form and content and elevates and ennobles everything that it expresses.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
    André Malraux (1901–1976)
